Rust Coreutils 0.1 Released With Big Performance Gains - Can Match Or Exceed GNU Speed


With Ubuntu 25.10 planning to ship the Rust-based Coreutils 'uutils' by default, it's a big year ahead for this alternative to GNU Coreutils

In furthering along the project's goals, today marks the Rust Coreutils v0.1 release.

Rust Coreutils 0.1 adds SELinux integration for cp, mkdir, ls, install, and other common commands.
